I read an article years ago describing how various flavors are favored more by men or women. Mint, they claimed, was more widely liked by women than by men. And what do you know? I love mint.

Speaking of mint and handbags (was I talking about handbags? Oh probably, I always am) I recently found Mint Workshop, where food and accessories come together in a wonderful contemporary pairing that had me thoroughly excited.

The best part? Each bag comes with a box of King Leo mints. Is that not the greatest combo yet? A new purse and a box of mints. What could be better? It reminds me of the old Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercials: "There's a box of mints in my handbag . . . Hey, there's a handbag around my box of mints . . . " Together they're the perfect.

Thanks to Mint Workshop I have a zippered pouch, pictured above, to give away to a random reader so you too can experience that minty goodness. I wish I had one for each of you but even if you don't win Mint Workshop's products are so reasonably priced there's no reason why you can't order your own. If the picture above doesn't temp you the mints surely will.

Here's how to win:

Before 12 am Monday go to the giveaway entry form on this page and enter your name and email. I will pick one of the names at random, contact the winner via their email and publish the winner's first name and home town in next Tuesday's post. See the bottom of the entry form for more details.

This Saturday Giveaways is open to all Scribbit readers regardless of where you live. If you can receive a package then you can enter. Good luck!

Peppermint grows almost wild on the south side of my house. I cut it back to make room for my flowers, and then let it grow. It smells sooooo good! I never thought of mint as a handbag theme, though. How creative!
